Hah! It’s only been nine months since my last post, so all of you who bet on a year between posts, pay up!
So much to talk about, but for now you’ll have to live with this little teaser.
I’m building a multi-user Flash application, and having lots of fun doing it. The guts of the enterprise is a open source Flash Socket Server called Palabre, written and maintained by Conort Célio.
This has required a number of things of me, not the least of which is brushing up on my Object-Orient programming in both Python and Flash, and becoming my own little mini-ISP, of sorts, to run the socket server.
It also means I’ve started to extend the server software by writing add-on modules. At some point, there may be an archive for them, but for now, I post them here for your enjoyment.
This module is exceedingly simple. The client sends a user nickname, or a room name, and the modules tells the client if it exists.
I’ll be moving this site over to the new server soon. If all goes well, you won’t feel a thing.
